This weekend marks 100 years of the Falkland Stampede

100th annual Falkland Stampede underway this weekend, with some significant appearances this year.

Organizer Jason Churchill says, they have a number of returning rodeo queens from past years.

“One lady is 101 years old this year. I think we have 45 ladies that are coming back to celebrate the 100th. And several of them are nearing the 100 mark. One lady is actually coming all the way from New York City, one of our past rodeo queens that lives in New York City now, so far and wide our fans are coming from.”

Other events Churchill notes are the cowboy church today at 10 am, and the parade at 1 pm.

Tickets are $20 dollars at the door, and the stampede goes until Monday.
